'Seussical, Jr.' being performed by Yolo Stage Company

Yolo Stage Company is presenting "Seussical, Jr." July 24 through July 27 at the Woodland Community & Senior Center.

Partnering with the City of Woodland, Parks and Community Services Department, this will be Yolo Stage Company's 18th summer musical theater production.

It will be presented in the Community Center's Banquet Room.

A complete stage is being built, with all the lights, sound and live music Woodlanders expect from a Yolo Stage production.

Yolo Stage is partnering with the Senior Center for seniors to attend the final full dress rehearsal and to purchase discounted tickets at that rehearsal.

According to director Kathy Trott, "We are having so much fun bringing our energy into the Community Center. The city staff has been so supportive. It is a great match."

Featuring the mischievous Cat in the Hat at the onset of this fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza, performers include Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty ("Lucky Stiff," "My Favorite Year," "Once On This Island" and "Ragtime") who have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie and all of the Whos of Whoville.

"These classic, colorful tales are seamlessly brought together by Jojo, a young boy and 'thinker of strange and wonderful thinks!'" states Trott. "As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss' subtle themes are, making this musical one that appeals to all ages."

Tickets may be purchased in advance at Woodland Community Center, Nugget Market in Woodland, and at the door. All seats are $10. Performances are 7:30 p.m., Thursday and Friday, July 24 and 25; and 2 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27.
